Title: Let Go Rating: G Wordcount: 103 Pairing: Team Bend-a-lot Round: 1A Summary: Zahir’s father is dead.
-
His father is dead. His father, the men who told him that he could go against tradition, be a knight, and serve the Tortallan king. His father, who tied him to the desert even when he was serving in the north. His father, who he refused to replace with his knight-master.
Jonathan says he understands, but Zahir isn’t sure if he really does. The king always wants to be closer than he is.
“Take all of the time you need,” Jon says, but Zahir won’t lose his stiff upper lip. The king shouldn’t be a replacement for his father. He won’t allow it.

I love the way Zahir maintains his distance instead, in this fic. And the way he tries to be strong.
